It's a wonderful day. Our daughter, Brianna Sage, was born today.

Recognizing the Anglo/Irish Clutterbuck heritage, Brianna is of Celtic origin meaning strong one and Sage is of English origin, characterized by wisdom, prudence and good judgment. And she adds a little spice to the family, which she gets from her mother.

A beautiful little sister for Jeremy, Brianna poked her cute face into the world at 9:05 a.m. Weighing in at a healthy 7 pounds, 12 ounces, Brianna was delivered without a problem by midwives Leslie Niblett and Kay Hanson, RN, who assisted Shelly in a home birth. It was a wonderful experience. My part was easy. I'm in total awe of women, today.

My mom was here to support and share the first day. Shelly's mom, Carol, is arriving soon to take care of her daughter and grandchildren over the next few weeks, when I'll be back on the jobsite. In the meantime, I'm taking some time off to enjoy this time of our lives.
